            Bug ID: 504159
           Summary: dolphin: does not work correctly if home directory is
                    a symlink (regression from kde5)
    Classification: Applications
           Product: dolphin
           Version: 25.04.1
          Platform: FreeBSD Ports
                OS: FreeBSD
            Status: REPORTED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: view-engine: icons mode
          Assignee: dolphin-bugs-null at kde.org
          Reporter: qxlddwas at aon.at
                CC: kfm-devel at kde.org
  Target Milestone: ---

Scenario:
- FreeBSD stable/14
- latest ports
- $HOME is /users/martin
- /users/martin is a symlink to the actual home directory

Result:
- If, in dolphin's settings, the default location is set to "/users/martin", an
error message pops up: "The location for the home folder is invalid or does not
exist, it will not be applied."
- Entering the real home dir is o.k., but this is different from $HOME.

Expected result:
- Just as with kde5, having a symlink as $HOME should be working.

Note:
- There is another issue in that dolphin does not show thumbnails anymore (and
yes I know how to turn them on and off, and configure the file types for which
they should be shown). Could the underlying cause also be this misbehavior when
$HOME is a symlink? Maybe this is the same as bug 503799.
